Dear White House Parents

I am so pleased and very chuffed that we have raised the amount required to proceed with the artificial lawn for the quad with the final R30 000 being donated by the school which I am so grateful for. This would not have happened if we had not had such a good response from some very generous parents which helped in the motivation to the school for the final amount as it clearly showed we had your backing. I have had a number of quotes and I am meeting with the representative from the selected company on Monday to work out final details. Hopefully, we can get the lawn done this year before the boys depart, but definitely for the start of 2012!


Our  Student Representative Forum Representatives for 2012, voted by their grades, are;

Grade 12 - Jean Truter

Grade 11- Nokukule Sikongo

Grade 10 - Matthew Boynton

Grade 9 - Siya Qwamgana

All the new curtains in all the dorms have been installed and they look stunning, especially in comparison with the old ones.  The new fire alarms are in the process of being installed and should be in at the end of the week-hopefully. We really have had an enormous amount done this year in the House and I am so pleased for the support from the school in this regard.

With the grade 10s starting exams on Monday and the grade 11s the following week, it is crucial that the boys get down to some serious revision over the weekends. Please try and set up the right environment for this to happen. In the House, we have set up a weekend study programme starting tonight with full prep!

Can I please ask the long distance boarders to get their travel arrangements to Kathy as soon as possible? Please also note that the grade 9s only get back from their camps on Thursday the 8^th in the late afternoon so hopefully no one will have booked earlier flights. Also the grade 10s return on the 7^th, but this is also late so please do not book flights for them before Thursday the 8^th.  It is compulsory for boys to go on camp!

I am on duty this weekend so please do not hesitate to get hold of me if need be.

Take care and have a good weekend.

Angus
